iPod nano 2GB   Windows XP  

The iPod does not need to be turned off to reset it. Here are the instructions for resetting the ipod. If this fails to do the trick you may want to try and do a restore.

  • Ipod nano wont turn off?!

    Hi. (:
    I can't get my Ipod to turn off. The display is still onm but it wont play. Its like its frozen. please help!?

    Sorry, that wasn't exactly helpful was it. Hopefully yours is recoverable. Eventually it will pass out from battery exhaustion and then you can plug it into your conmputer. Start itunes. I migth take 30 minutes before it appears as on icon on your computer. Make sure you have the latest ipod updater software. Once the icon appears on your itunes go ahead and restore. You WILL lose all our your songs on your ipod if they are backed up in your itunes library. After restoring load it again with your music and see if it happens again. Hopefully that will solve it.

    PS make sure your hold button is released or itunes and your computer will not recognize it at all.

  • Ipod 5 wont turn on please help

    Help! My Ipod 5 touch wont turn on!
    what happened: A few months ago i installed cydia onto my Ipod to get cool themes for my apps and i wanted to remove cydia and never use it again so I tried restoring my Ipod (Ipod also needed update for IOS 8.2) and it said that it would take 5 days to update and restore.  I got really confused but i just shrugged it off as the update adding the new watch app so i waited 5 days and the update still had nothing in the progress bar so i tried using my computer to restore it but I ran into complications (Itunes update, windows update, etc) so when i finally tried it said "ipod ran into unknown error 9006 update cancelled" and it kept doing that so I just reinstalled Itunes to see if that would help but now whenever my ipod starts up it stays on the apple logo for a long time then the screen goes black and it repeats that and i cant plug it into my computer to fix because now my computer wont read my ipod anymore I plug it into my pc and it charges the ipod but it does not read it and i don't know if my warranty will work because i installed cydia to my ipod.
    if anyone can help me please help.
    I am not sure what operating system to choose so im saying here 8.1.3 - 8.2

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
    Yu can ony restore the latest iOS versin for your iPod which is 8.1.3 for the 5G

  • Ipod Nano , wont turn off ,displaying "charging" icon instead

    Hey y'all
    ive been using this ipod nano for a while now,no problems
    recently updated it to the newest firmware
    anyhow it doesnt turn off now,instead when the stop button is pressed for a few seconds,the screen goes blank then the "charging" icon appears even when the ipod is disconnected
    also,when the ipod is working the battery meter doesnt show,
    and the "charging" icon is displayed instead
    i tried restoring the ipod a few times,no effect
    any ideas?

    Hi, my ipod nano has exactly the same problem---won't turn off, shows the big charging icon instead, even after resetting it many times, and successfully restoring/updating the firmware to v1.2. It plays music fine, but it won't shut off.
    What ever happened at repair shop, did they say what is wrong? Maybe I have to send mine to a repair shop too.
    Thanks

  • My ipod will not turn off please help???

    Everything works on my ipod, but it will not turn off. It will play and pause but not turn off.

    I too have had this problem. In fact it seems to be a fairly common problem, suggesting that it is an unaddressed bug.
    Here's what you can try:
    1. Reset your iPod by holding down the Menu and Select buttons simultaneously for 5-10 seconds. After your iPod reboots, see if it will turn off. If not:
    2. Restore your iPod using iPod Updater, which you can download from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ . Restoring your iPod will delete all songs, pictures etc and reload the iPod's operating system. If that doesn't fix it, you can:
    3. Try a work-around. Can you turn it off using the Sleep menu option? If you don't see that in the main iPod menu, go to Settings/Main Menu and turn on the Sleep menu option. This didn't work for me, but others have een able to turn their Nanos off this way.
    If none of these things work, your only option is to have Apple replace you iPod. You can do this by contacting Apple support, or by going to the Genius Bar at an Apple retail store.
    Several people (including me) have seen the not-turning-off problem in conjunction with the Nano frequently showing a message saying that firewire connections are not supported. In my case my Nano became unusable because the firewire message would pop up so often that I couldn't navigate through the menus to get it to play anything. I took my Nano to an Apple store and the Genius Bar guy replaced it on the spot. Unfortunately the replacement also doesn't work (headphone jack doesn't work so I can't hear any music) so I will have to go back again, but don't let my run of bad luck prevent you from getting a replacement.

  • Ipod Touch Wont Turn On - Please Help

    My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn on at all. I have tried holding down the power and home button but that doesnt work and when i connect it to the computer it is not detected by itunes.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Any help is appreciated

    Try this before you take it to the Apple store or send it in for repairs:
    1. Start iTunes
    2. With your iPod disconnected, hold down the Home button
    3. Continue holding down the Home button while plugging it back into your computer
    4. Hold the button down until iTunes tells you it has detected an iPod in recovery mode. Follow the instructions from there.
    If that doesn't do it, time to see about repairs.

    The iPod Nano battery will not charge unless you connect it to your computer, to an AC outlet with a wall adapter, a charging dock or an auto adapter/dock.
    You battery is always discharging when idle or shut off.  You should read the manual for your model iPod Nano regarding batteries - iPod Manuals

  • Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?

    Does iPod nano automatically turns off if not used in 2 minutes?
    this is the questions tha runs my mind bcoz I just bought it about 2 weeks ago and just this recently I noticed that it automatically switches off after 2 minutes if remained untouched even if i did not set the sleep mode. Well, it normally functions coz during playing a song it does not sleeps but by the time pausing the song and after two minutes the nano switches off, but if you press any key it goes back again and you can play the paused song again. is this thing normal? i am really bothered by this. please help me THANKS A LOT

    I recently bought a 2nd Generation 8Gb iPod Nano and can state for a fact that if you pause a song for exactly two minutes the device will turn off, probably to save batttery power. I tested it three times already and clocked it.
    However, I also noticed that my iPod also seems to turn off by itself (even when sleep / timer is not selected) when I'm shuffling through songs using the forward/next and/or rewind/back buttons repeatedly.
    Is this normal, or just a bad coincidence?
    I've tried the 5 Rs but the problem persists. It really annoys me because I have the habit of skipping lots of songs.

  • 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black after a while. How can I solve this ?

    My 6th generation iPod nano automatically turns off (=stops the music) when I push het sleep/wake button or when screen turns black for power saving mode. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
    I have already tried resetting, connecting to PC/iTunes to check the software version, turning off/on, I don't have any inspiration anymore.
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Hi VeerleD,
    If your iPod touch unexpectedly powers off, you may want to use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting (The steps apply for the iPod touch) -
    Specifically -
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Ipod nano wont turn on!!! Please help I'am desperate! :(

    By mistake, i dropped my ipod on the floor and seconds later i tried turning it on and it wont turn on at all. I tried restoring it by pressing the menu and select button and i toggeled with the hold button for several minutes. I got this ipod a year ago ,but my 1 year apple warrenty just expired and the "apple operator" led me to this discussions web site. The screen is not cracked or chipped,but it simply wont turn on!! When i plug my ipod into the computer, itunes doesn't not show up and when i open(itunes) it manually it stays the same. Also, i tried charging it overnight and the ipod still wont turn on. Someoen said i have to buy another battery for the ipod?? ( I have no idea!) Any suggestions?? Should i just buy another one?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!!
    Thank you!!!

    I'd say that the iPod is toast.
    Easiest thing at this point would be to get the iPod repaired through Apple ($99), or to get a new unit.

  • My ipod touch turns off and on all the time i cant charge it because after about 2 minutes it turns off PLEASE HELP!

    MY Ipod touch frequently turns on and off please help!!!

    Try connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and restoring the iPod.
    If you can't restore, see if resetting the iPod will allow a restore:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that was unsuccessfulm see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
